Twitter had a mixed reaction to the news

One user didn't hold back on their feelings towards Amy's pregnancy news

Upon hearing the news, another said: "Is it me who's wrong when I see all the 'congratulations' for Amy Childs pregnancy and I just think...that poor baby?"

The couple - who met in an Essex pub two years ago - weathered the storm of the sexting scandal, but broke up when Amy discovered Bradley had been sentenced to 16 months in prison in October last year.

Another mocked Amy's words saying the couple wanted to be pregnant before Bradley went to prison

The beauty went on to admit it was the fact her boyfriend had kept his court date a secret from her which had tipped her over the edge.

But having reconciled earlier this year, Amy is putting her trust back into her relationship with the builder and is looking forward to welcoming their first child in May next year.
